Chapter 297 No One Can Escape
Due to the need to take a detour, most of the more than 4,000 captured war horses were brought to Tanshan by Su Dingshan.
He assigned half of his cavalry to Fat Tiger to lead, while he led the other half to cut off the enemy's retreat.
Ten thousand people surrounded and suppressed a thousand people. The advantage of ten times that of the enemy was obviously on Su Dingshan's side.
As soon as Rituo approached the village, more than twenty strong men from the village stood at the entrance of the village with sticks in their hands, trying to block the Huns from entering the village.
"Hahaha, these people from the Central Plains are simply overestimating their own capabilities. They think they can stop us with just such a small number of people." The daycare worker said sarcastically.
"Oh no, chief! A large army has appeared behind us. There are about three thousand of them, all infantrymen, and they are heading towards us." Someone in the team shouted in panic.
"Mort? Where do these people come from?" Although the daycare worker was a little panicked, he was not too confused in the face of the attacking infantry.
"Chief, should we fight or retreat?" the daycare's subordinate asked anxiously.
"We have the advantage against the infantry. We can just charge them from the outside. But they are outnumbered. Let me think."
For a moment, the daycare worker was still a little hesitant. After all, fighting head-on was not the best strategy. Even if he won, he would suffer losses. He really didn't want to do such a losing business.
"Look, there are people behind us. Oh no! They look like cavalry, behind the infantry."
It was not yet completely dark, and one could vaguely see someone riding a horse behind these cavalrymen.
"That's not right." The young man was a little confused. The number of cavalrymen was obviously greater than his own, so why did they follow behind the cavalrymen and chase him directly? He could not win at all.
"Kill!" Suddenly, a roar came from the village, followed by the sound of horses' footsteps.
That day, he saw a burly man in the village rushing towards him with a mace in his hand.
"Meet the enemy!" There was no time to hesitate. Narito hurriedly gave the order. Even if they were being attacked from both sides, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
He squeezed his horse's belly, held the wolf-head broadsword in his hand, looked at the charging people, and fought the enemy head-on.
Fat Tiger was waving his mace. Seeing someone trying to stop him, he didn't hesitate at all and went straight towards the man.
The man raised his knife to block, but there was a clang sound and sparks flew from the blade. The powerful force suppressed the knife, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, the mace and the knife hit the man's head together.
The eighty-pound mace plus Fat Tiger's amazing arm strength and his powerful aura, with a force of more than two hundred pounds, smashed down. The daycare worker couldn't withstand it at all. In an instant, his head was like a broken watermelon, and red blood splattered everywhere.
When the Huns saw that their leader was dead, they scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in different directions.
There is a characteristic of the grassland people when fighting. As long as the leader is gone, everyone will look for opportunities to escape, just like the wolves on the grassland. Once the leader dies, the wolf pack will quickly disperse.
This was also Fat Tiger's mistake.
If they act like a cat catching a mouse, this group of enemies might gather together, eliminate the wolves first, and then take down the leader, so that no one can escape.
"Chase, don't let any of them go." Fat Tiger didn't expect the situation to be like this. In his mind, the enemy would definitely fight for a while, but unexpectedly, after just one round, the enemy began to flee in all directions.
Half of the enemies were eliminated in one round.
However, an enemy that escapes is difficult to catch.
After all, riding a horse is extremely fast.
Su Dingshan on the periphery did not expect that the enemy would be like this, so he hurriedly commanded everyone to kill the enemy on the periphery, and not let any of them escape today.
Fortunately, there were many people, more than ten thousand of them surrounded the area, and the five hundred people were like being in a horse racing circle, and it was difficult for them to escape no matter what.
"How could this happen? We almost failed to complete the encirclement." Su Dingshan asked Fat Tiger who was covered in blood.
"I don't know either. I killed the enemy general in one blow." Fat Tiger said innocently.
"All at once? You hit me too hard. You should have dealt with it slowly." Su Dingshan understood the reason and said meaningfully.
"Oh..." Fat Tiger never expected that there was so much knowledge involved in fighting a war. In his mind, winning was all that mattered, so who cares about so much else.
The injured Huns could not be left alive, so they asked these people to help dig pits to bury the bodies. In the end, they buried themselves. Of course, this required assistance to complete.
At night, Jigawa discovered that the child was not in the camp, and immediately asked someone to come and ask.
"Leader, this Rito has probably gone to see the Central Plains girl again. He's often done this before, sometimes even staying out all night."
"This is outrageous. How can I manage the team in the future if they behave like this?" Jiga Wa said with a look of disappointment.
"The chief is merciful and dotes on that daycare too much."
The leaders of the tribe were talking to each other. They were all from the same group, so they would help and mediate when encountering problems.
Jiga Wa also knew that this was a common occurrence, but he was somewhat nervous after the defeat on the battlefield today.
"I have a feeling something might happen. I'll add an extra guard at night to prevent anyone from sneaking into the camp."
"The daycare center is supposed to be responsible for night watch outside. Looks like this job will fall to us."
A famous leader said with dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Okay, we are all brothers, so let's work harder."
Another leader persuaded.
……
After dinner, a bright moon rose in the sky, and its light gently fell on the vast earth, covering everything with a thin layer of silver gauze.
The breeze blew gently, bringing the coolness and tranquility of the night, quietly passing through the grass, causing the leaves to sway gently, making a subtle and pleasant rustling sound, as if it were the soft whisper of nature.
Su Dingshan looked at a chopstick stuck in the ground, and when its reflection was one inch long, he attacked from both sides at the same time.
However, Su Dingshan also arranged one thing tonight, which was to relocate the villagers of Tanshan Village to avoid a fight that would harm innocent people.
Time passed slowly, and the moonlight finally shone on the one-inch scale.
"Let's go!" Su Dingshan ordered.
At the same time, Jia Yixiao on the opposite side also ordered his men to move down the mountain.
Each side had only a thousand men, armed with bows and arrows, and also carrying kerosene.
Just as Jigawa was falling asleep, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
In an instant, he felt that the lights all around the tent were bright.
No! It was the fire in the tent that illuminated the surroundings.
Jiga Wa seemed to understand something, and hurriedly stood up, dressed, and called the guards to ask, "How many enemy soldiers are there?"
"Captain, it's not clear yet, but the area surrounding the camp has been set on fire."
"Oh!" Jiga Wa responded unconsciously, and suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Report! There's a fire in the stable where the horse feed is." A soldier came running and shouted.
"Go quickly and put out the fire!" Jigawa screamed.
Fortunately, there were not many horses at the moment and he was close to the river, so only some horse feed caught fire, but the fire was quickly extinguished.
Just when Jiga Wa was secretly rejoicing, someone else came to report, which made his heart rise to his throat.
